Couldn't you just start your downloads at midnight? I know it's the low tech solution you didn't want to hear.

Yes you can. Will need to try the Parental controls on my router. But it's 2014 every other download device in my home can be scheduled . But we finally have internet access on the device so glad for that at least.

- will we need a software update before the functionality is enabled?
- it's clear that the dongle will only be available next week, but for peeps who have Ethernet close to their decoders, is the functionality working already, or will it only be enabled once the dongles are available?
- the link in the first post to "catchup plus" is incorrect

Yes new software been rolled out this week

The is no dongle. It is a WiFi Ethernet connector. It simply plugs into the Ethernet port with a LAN cable. It is powered by an USB port. If you have a LAN cable available you can use that.
